“Why does it look like pressing on the letter ‘A’ will open a secret chamber where the ark of the covenant is stored?” asked Elle Cordova, a digital creator, comedy writer and grammarian.
“It looks like they downloaded a bootlegged version of Times Roman without any kerning data embedded in the file, brought it into some ancient software, like Adobe Scribe 1517 A.D., and then let the software space the letters,” she said. “And this is what you get: an abomination unto design.”
I don’t believe it was just a lack kerning. Instead it looks to me like it was deliberately made to look as bad as possible.

No, see, the letters come in blocks of two. So for instance you can have two Es in a row after D or F, but not after P or T like in those examples.
